Nice board

I see this board isn't currently available anymore, but it's a really nice board for the money. Crossfire ready, 4 ram modules, only 2 pci slots, but not much need for alot of them anymore. I have a Phenom 4 2.4Mhz quad core in it and it flies, nice and smooth with windows 7.

A very good motherboard at a great price.

With the price tag on this board you really can't go wrong. I read about some DOA problems or more precisely some CMOS related problems but I didn't even have to mess with it, mine worked fine right out of the box. I got this board because of the layout, unlike some MB's the PCIex16 slots are spaced a bit farther which I imagine will help avoid any really bad heat buildup problems when I put two Radeon HD4850's in it. Crossfire ready, places for everything I need and it boots very fast. A good amount of BIOS options and .. oh yeah, it looks purdy too. I've been using it for about a week and haven't had any hiccups yet. I'm impressed with this board.

Everything you need.

4 SATA ports, speaker ports, TWO (count em) TWO PCI-E x16 Slots which are even SPACED OUT for future SLI or Crossfire, lots of space for any CPU Fan. Right now I'm using this Motherboard in this computer, with a Diamond Radeon HD 4890, Three HardDrives in the SATA Ports, and a AMD Phenom 64-bit Processor that has a big-*** X-Wind Aluminum CPU Fan on it, and everything's going GREAT. This motherboard also has a feature that will stop the computer from running if there is something plugged incorrectly to the motherboard, to prevent frying it. The only issue that I have is that there aren't enough LED slots on the Motherboard for me. I need 7, which is a ridiculous number to begin with lol. So unfortunately, my Apevia X-Plorer Case can't have all the lights I wanted it to have. But no biggie; it's just LEDs after all. The Motherboard is great. It you're looking forward to future SLI or Crossfire, this is a great deal. I'm planning on getting a 4670 to Crossfire with my 4890 :)

Good Value MainBoard

Works well with Phenom 9500, 4 Gigs OCZ PC8500, 2 Visiontek HD 3650 oc 1 Gb videocards 2 WesternDigital 320 Gb in Raid 0 and Vista Home Premium x64 with Thermaltake Bigwater 735 with waterblocks on videocards and processor.

DOA???

for those who think the board is DOA, first try this - clear the C-MOS using the jumper on the mobo - then go into the bios and configure it for todays date - it should work after that - several mobos I thot were DOA that is all I needed to do to them
